Division Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

Implementation of a pilot phase of the European Autism Prevalence Protocol as defined in the European Autism Information System. This is necessary to obtain valid information about ASD prevalence in several European countries as well as to define harmonized methods for planning a more broad ASD prevalence study in Europe. The protocol should try to establish how the public health authorities defined ASD as a condition, whether there were existing protocols on detection, including early recognition, and whether case registries exist and how these are maintained. The aim is to gather initial information in order to provide comparable European information about ASD, building on the needs already identified at European level.
